The Regional Food Bank needs your help on Nov. 22
By John T Ryan
By now, many readers may be familiar with the Regional Food Bank’s massive effort to host a November 22 Single-Day Thanksgiving Meal Pick-Up for thousands of individuals, families, and seniors in the Adirondacks and the North Country. To make this happen, about 75 volunteers will be needed. Organizations and individuals are invited to take part.
The items handed out will allow families to cook their own meals at home. Volunteers will fill a box/bag with more than 30 pounds of food items (including turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, gravy, vegetables, fruit, potatoes, and dessert) sourced from local partners.
On November 22, Clinton Community College’s Institute of Advanced Manufacturing will be the local food distribution site. Volunteers will be needed starting at 7 a.m. to organize and distribute the food via a drive-through system. Distribution will begin at 10:00 a.m. and continue until 1:00 p.m. or until all the food has been distributed. The Institute is at 53 Clinton Point Drive, Plattsburgh, New York 12901.
Individuals interested in volunteering can sign up using this link. Organizations desiring to participate should email Nicholas Rabideau at nickr#regionalfoodbank.net
The Plattsburgh event is one of over 20 Regional Food Bank events across Northeastern New York. It is the single largest overall food distribution in the history of New York.
